Tara has 4 and 4 over 5 feet of rope.
Part A: How many 2 over 5 foot pieces can Tara cut from the 4 and 4 over 5 feet of rope? Show your work. (5 points)
Part B: Using the information in Part A, interpret the meaning of the quotient in terms of the two fractions given
4 4/5 = 24/5
24/5 / 2/5 = 24/5 * 5/2
= 24/2
= 12
I do not understand Part B.
the answer is 12
part A:
4 4/5 = 24/5
24/5 / 2/5 = 24/5 * 5/2
= 24/2
= 12
part B:
quotient means the answer you get when dividing because we divided to get 12
umm what are we sapost to do :I
What are we supposed to do for Part B
Hi!
For part A it is: 12! Here is my work: 4 4/5 = 24/5
24/5 / 2/5 = 24/5 x 5/2 = 24/2= 12
For part B it is: The quotient means the amount of foot pieces Tara can cut from the 4 4/5 feet of rope.
Hope I helped! :)
